Oh, he is listening on this list... :-) Just been very busy with
diaper changing etc. as we have a newborn daughter on our hands.
LPPL 1.3 is a good, clear license when it comes to things like this.
It's not ideal for everything but for our purpose of stability and
maintainability it is.
Clause 3 of the "CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION" section
reads:
3. You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
directly from the Work.
Since I have not been completely clear about what constitutes the
Compiled Work, I think for the time being it is best to include the
dtx files plus the generated runtime files with extensions sty and sym.
Best,
Morten
